Will there be an opportunity to purchase samples of the mid-season products? It'd be nice to be able to show the new items at my May shows, but don't know if we can purchase samples.
 
I don't know, but I am curious too. It doesn't look like I'm going to earn them.
 
On your April supply orders you can order the HWC items. Every month you can order the next month's guest specials. You cannot get any host special without hosting a show.

Hope that helps!!!
 
Ordering HWC on P3I just tried to order the HWC products on a sample order and when I tried to finish the program told me that I could not use the item number starting with FL. I know in the pampered partner program we had to go in and add the items. Can someone tell me how to do that in the new program?
 
The HWC are on supply.

Instructions on ordering the midseason will be coming in next week's Weekly Bites.

Great, so now we will need to figure out how to get pre-copies of the weekly bites just like we cheat to get advance copies of the consultant newsletter and host/guest specials.
 
I purchased my HWC products as a personal order. It went through and should arrive on Friday :) Directors get 30% off.....consultants will get a discount equal to your base commission. 20% or 22% if you've sold over 15K.
 
Anyone know what the July or August host and guest specials will be, or when they'll tell us? TIA

I'm not sure how you did this could you explain? I'm still on PP. I ordered the HWC guest specials as part of my supply order is that what you are talking about?

There are two ways you can order HWC products right now. I ordered mine as a personal order because as a director I receive 30% off PC products. Consultants can purchase them on a supply order using item #'s FL65, FL66, and FL67. If you order them as a personal order the item #'s are GL67, GL68, and GL69.

Shipping is $4 either way. I would suggest that consultants that need to purchase supplies anyway, just add the HWC products to their supply order. If you have already purchased supplies this month you want to order the HWC stuff as a personal order so you don't pay extra shipping. (Consultants only get one supply order a month at the $4 shipping, additional orders you will pay based on total.)

Does that make sense? I am using P3 but still have PP on the computer. I tried adding personal and supply orders on both versions using the above numbers and they worked on both.
 
Thanks that does describe it well.
 
I just tried to order through P3 using the gl numbers-couldn't get a price to come up....any suggestions??
 
You can cheat to view the weekly bites if they put it up early. Just go to the last one posted and change the last digit to one higher.

Did you select "add non-commision order" and then select personal order from there? I was able to see the products when I did that. Make sure you've done an update so you have the latest of everything.
 
yep, that worked...too late though...i sent it in on paper so that I wouldn't miss out in case P3 didn't work! Thanks anyway!
